II

MARINER’S OBLIGATION AND A CHART MAKER’S PLEA Observing changes at sea proactively and reporting them promptly to the concerned charting agency, is an obligation that all mariners owe to the entire maritime community towards SOLAS. Mariners are requested to notify the Chief Hydrographer to the Government of India at the above mentioned address/fax number/ E mail address immediately on discovering new or suspected dangers to navigation, changes/ defects pertaining to navigational aids, and shortcomings in Indian charts/ publications. The Hydrographic Note [Form IH – 102] is a convenient form to notify such changes. Specimen form is attached at Section IX with this notice. Also visit our website for downloading and filling up instructions for Hydrographic Note.

Chief Hydrographer to the Government of India

WARNING AGAINST USE OF COUNTERFEIT PRODUCTS

All mariners are cautioned against the use of counterfeit copies of IN Charts and publications. Navigational Charts produced after 31 Oct 14 carry NHO crest as watermark on the reverse with backslip. Chart Agent’s stamp is mandatory on all Charts. Counterfeit products may have errors resulting in potential risks. The same are not approved by inspecting agencies and do not satisfy the carriage requirements of SOLAS chapter V. Mariners are strongly advised not to use or encourage the use of counterfeit charts and publications. Failure to comply with the warning may invite legal action.

EXPLANATORY NOTES

Corrections to Charts and Publications. Section I comprises List of Charts affected by the notices contained in this edition. Whereas sections II and III contain information for correcting the charts and publications. Mariners should insist on corrected charts from their chart distributors/agents. (a) Geographical positions given are in the horizontal datum of the current edition of the chart, unless otherwise stated. (b) Bearings are true, reckoned clockwise from 000° to 359°. Bearings to lights are from seaward. (c) Symbols referred to, are those shown on the chart 5020 (INT 1). (d) Alterations to depth contours, deletion of depths to make way for new detail, etc; are not normally mentioned, unless they have some navigational significance. (e) Blocks and notes, if any, accompanying the Notices in Sections II and III are placed after Section IX. Temporary and Preliminary Notices. These are indicated by (T) and (P) respectively after the Notice number and are placed in Section III. Sl Nos. of those in force are published quarterly on 01

Jan, 01 Apr, 01 Jul and 01 Oct, and their text is published in Annual Edition of Indian Notices to Mariners. They should be inserted in pencil, by the user, on receipt.

Source of Information. A star preceding the number of a Notice indicates that the notice is promulgated by INHO based on original information received.

Sailing Directions. Corrections for the Sailing Directions (Pilots) are given in Section VI.

Lights. Corrections to Indian List of Lights are given in Section VII, where affected Light List number is quoted.

(a) These corrections should be incorporated as per instructions given on page XI of the List of Lights. (b) Such correction notices to list of lights may be published in either an earlier or a later Edition of N to M than the Edition containing the Notice to the chart correction.

(c) The range of a light given is its nominal range. Its geographical range is given in parenthesis only if it is less than the nominal range. (d) A star indicates that the corresponding field is to be amended and all stars indicate that new light is to be inserted.

Radio Signals. The corrections in Section VIII should be cut and pasted in the appropriate volume of the List of Radio Signals.

Radio Navigational Warnings.

(a) These are broadcast as serially numbered NAVAREA warnings by the concerned NAVAREA coordinator through GMDSS and Area Radio Broadcasts. (b) They contain important information affecting navigational safety, which cannot await the publication of the next edition of N to M. (c) It should be borne in mind that they may be based on reports which cannot always be verified before promulgation. (d) It is therefore necessary to be selective, and promulgate only the more important warnings to avoid over loading users; the less important information is included in the forthcoming edition of N to M or the Chart/publication concerned.

Laws and Regulations. While in the interest of the safety of shipping, the Hydrographic Office makes every endeavor to include in its publications details of the laws and regulations of all countries pertaining to navigation, it must be clearly understood: -

(a) That no liability whatsoever can be accepted for failure to publish details of any particular law or regulation and (b) That publication of details of a law or regulation is solely for the safety and convenience of shipping and implies no recognition of the International validity of the law or regulation.

Correction of Charts and Publications by the Users. Notices to Mariners contain important information concerning safety of navigation at sea, hence, they should be used to keep the specified charts and publications up-to-date.

Reliance on Charts and Associated Publications. While every effort is made by the Hydrographic Office to ensure the accuracy of the information on Charts and Publications before they are published, it should be appreciated that it may not always be complete and up-to-date. The mariner must be the final judge for the reliance he can place on the infor-mation available, bearing in mind his particular circumstances, local pilotage guidance and judicious use of available navigational aids.

Use of Global Positioning System (WGS 84) positions. (a) The positions of hydrographic objects shown on some of the Indian charts and publications are in Everest

datum. However, the positions of vessels obtained from Global Positioning System (GPS) are on World Geodetic System 1984 datum. There will always exist a difference in the position values obtained by visual fixing (Everest Datum) and GPS position (WGS 84 datum).

(b) Wherever these differences have been ascertained, their average values are published as a Cautionary

Note on the chart concerned, as shifts in Latitude and Longitude. Whilst plotting GPS positions on charts, the shift values as given on the chart must be applied, before making any assessment of the navigational situation vis-à-vis the other charted information.

(c) These datum shift values are not uniform, particularly in areas off Andaman and Nicobar and Lakshadweep Islands, as these places are not linked to mainland network (Everest datum). Mariners are advised to use alternate source of position information such as Visual or Radar, particularly when closing the shore or navigating in the vicinity of dangers.

Source Data on Charts. All Indian charts contain specific information on their source of hydrographic data. In areas where the source data is very old, incomplete and less reliable, the mariner must use such charts with prudence. Mariner should always use the largest scale charts available for the area. Apart from being the most detailed, the larger scale charts are usually corrected first. Hydrographic information may be sparse on small scale charts. On such charts, a charted shoal may be in error as regards position, least depth and extent. Uncharted dangers may also exist, particularly in areas away from well-established routes. Mariners must exercise due caution.

Further Guidance. The Mariner’s Hand Book (NP 100) gives full explanation on the use of charts and the type of information contained on charts. In their own interest, all users of charts should refer to it.

2. MISIDENTIFYING FISHING BOATS AS PIRATE SKIFFS All merchant vessels entering Indian EEZ are advised that dense fishing activity may be encountered off West Coast of India. Fishing is generally carried out by mechanized boats and single hull boats with outboard motors carrying 4-5 crews using long lines upto 50 NM from coast. The vessels traversing the nets are likely to be approached by fishing boats for safeguarding nets and lines and should not be mistaken as skiffs and PAG’s. Masters of vessels to report any suspicious activity of fishing vessels immediately to MRCC (Mumbai) on telephone +91-22-24388065, 24316558, Email: - [email protected], or [email protected]. Any suspicious activity of skiffs/ boats to be photographed if possible. Merchant vessels with armed guards on board are to report presence of guards to Indian Navy/Coast Guard while transiting Indian EEZ. 3. DISPLAY ANOMALIES IN ECDIS (a) Mariners are advised that the International Hydrographic Organization (IHO) check data set shows that some ECDIS systems fail to display some significant underwater features in the standard display mode. The use of this check data set, issued through ENC service providers and available from the IHO website www.iho.int, to check the operation of ECDIS is strongly recommended. JRC has confirmed that certain versions of JRC ECDIS fail to display some types of wreck and obstructions, including stranded wrecks, in any display mode. Where JRC ECDIS is in use, paper charts should be the primary means of navigation until the ECDIS has been proved to operate correctly. See www.jrc.co.jp/eng/product/marine/whatsnew/20120313/index.html for further information. (b) Some Electronic Chart Display and Information Systems (ECDIS) may exhibit operating anomalies. The International Maritime Organization’s (IMO) circular SN.1/CIRC.312 pages /imodocs.aspx (registration required) lists identified anomalies, There characteristics and remedial advice. Mariners are reminded that they should access the International Hydrographic Organization (IHO) data presentation and performance check (DPPC) dataset (news links of http.//www.iho.int/srv1) and ensure that all installed ECDIS units are checked.

4. SAFETY FAIRWAYS, RECOMMENDED ROUTES, TRAFFIC SEPARATION SCHEME The Director General Shipping has established Safety fairways, recommended routes and traffic separation scheme (TSS) in restricted Indian waters including the offshore development area to enhance safety of navigation. The details of coordinates for the above have been published in the fortnightly Indian Notices to Mariners Edition No 07 of 2018(01stApril 2018).

(a) Safety Fairways: An area within which permits are not granted for the erection of oil or gas related structures. The use of a safety fairway is not usually mandatory, but is recommended. Safety fairways have been promulgated in and round offshore development area in Arabian Sea up to the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) due to increased weather related marine accidents and dense traffic. These are mandatory for all Indian ships and vessels transiting through the ODA and recommendatory for all foreign flag ships and vessels irrespective of size. (b) Traffic Separation Schemes (TSS). The TSS off Mumbai harbour is mandatory for all Indian and foreign flag ships and vessels entering and leaving Mumbai harbour and Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust (JNPT)/ Nhava-Shevaharbour irrespective of size.

5. GAGAN SYSTEM COMMISSIONED FOR OPERATIONS The GAGAN System is now commissioned for safety of life, civil aviation, and en- route operations in addition to all other non-aviation applications. The GAGAN signal is being broadcasted through GSAT-8 and GSAT-10 with PRN127& 128 respectively. All the GPS users are requested to enable SBAS functionality in their receivers, configure it to receive PRN- 127& 128 and avail the benefits of GAGAN in terms of increased accuracy and reliability. There may be occasional signal outages due to system up-gradation activities.

6. USAGE OF THURAYA/ IRIDIUM AND SATELLITE PHONE The use of Thuraya, Iridium and other such satellite phone is banned in India under Sec 6 of Indian Wireless Act and Sec 20 of Indian Telegraph Act. It is intimated to all shipping companies/ shipping agents that use of Thuraya/ Iridium and other such satellite phones are banned in Indian waters and seafarers should not use the same. Satellite phones can be used only after no objections certificate issued by department of telecommunication (DOT)on a case to case basis.The shipping agents should mandatorily intimate the details of person carrying Thuraya and the particulars of Thuraya, Iridium and other such sets in pre arrival notification on security (PANS). The unauthorized holders of Thuraya/ Iridium and other such Satellite phones can be prosecuted under Sec 6 of Indian Wireless Act and Sec 20 of Indian Telegraph Act. 7. CAUTIONARY NOTE There is a finite amount of lag between publication of large and small scale Indian Nautical Charts. To avoid uncertainty the mariners are advised to use large scale charts for coastal navigation wherever applicable and available. In addition, mariners are to refer large scale charts in conjunction with small scale charts in areas where both overlap during both planning and conduct of passage. 8. ADVISORY FOR ALL VESSELS NAVIGATING INDIAN WATERS (a) All vessels navigating in Indian waters are cautioned to keep a sharp look-out for fishing vessels and small crafts, as there have been several incidents of collisions with such vessels in the past resulting in loss of innocent lives as well as damage to property.

(b) It is further cautioned that all vessels need to exercise extreme care while navigating during hours of darkness as such vessels are generally of primitive built (wood/fibre/etc) due to which it may not be detected on ship’s radar, especially during adverse weather conditions. Also, such vessels may not be properly lit, or sometimes, only one vessel may be lit among multiple vessels in a cluster.

(c) The general areas of concern on the west coast of India are the areas of convergence and divergence of traffic, mainly between Mangalore to Kanyakumari (Cape Comorin). Further, in these areas, additional caution needs to be exercised and wide berth be given to all such vessels.

(d) All fishing vessels are also cautioned to avoid fishing in areas having high density traffic. All fishing vessels are also required to always maintain proper lookout by sight, hearing and by all available means and comply with all applicable provisions of Collision Regulations.

SECTION – IX

REPORTING OF NAVIGATIONAL DANGERS Appeal to all Mariners 1. Mariners at sea whilst on passage, or whilst entering / leaving ports / harbours and other waterways, are requested to look out for new or suspected dangers to navigation, changes in aids to navigation, or corrections to published charts and Sailing Directions. Whenever any such changes / dangers are observed, mariners are requested to notify the same to the Chief Hydrographer to the Government of India at the following address: -

National Hydrographic Office 107-A, Rajpur Road, Dehradun - 248001 (UTTARAKHAND), INDIA e-mail: - [email protected], [email protected] Fax No.: +91-135- 2748373 WEB: www.hydrobharat.gov.in

Instructions for filling up IH 102 2. Kindly follow the instructions below in order to help the Hydrographic Office (the recipient) to quickly issue NAVAREA warning / Notice to Mariners for the benefit of all other mariners at sea. Position Reporting 3. Accurate position or knowledge of position error is of great importance. Latitude and Longitude should only be used to specify position details when they have been fixed by GPS or Astronomical Observations. A full description of the method, equipment, time and datum (WGS 84/Everest/Other) used should be given. When position is defined by sextant angles or bearings (true or magnetic to be specified), more than two bearings should be used in order to provide a redundancy check. Distances observed by Radar should be corrected for index errors. Where position is derived after the event, from other observations and/or Dead Reckoning, the methodology of deriving the position should be included. 4. Paper Charts. A copy/tracing of largest scale chart is the best medium for forwarding details, the alterations and additions being shown thereon in red, but adequate details from the chart must be traced in black ink to enable the amendments to be fitted correctly. 5. ENCs. A Screen shot of largest scale usage band ENC with the alterations and additions being shown thereon in red. If it is to report an issue with the display of an ENC, a screen shot of the affected cell should be sent along with details of the ECDIS make and version in use at the time. Depth Reporting 6. When soundings are obtained using echo sounders, the echo sounding trace should be duly annotated with date, times, position, depths, etc., and forwarded with the IH102. It is important to state whether the echo sounder is set to register depths below the surface or below the keel; in the latter case the vessel’s draught should be given. Time and date should be given in order that corrections for the height of the tide may be made where necessary. The make, name and type of echo sounder should also be given. 7. For modern echo sounders that use electronic ‘range gating’, care should be taken that the correct range scale and appropriate gate width are in use. Older electro-mechanical echo sounders frequently record signals from echoes received back after one or more rotations of the stylus have been completed. Thus with a set whose maximum range is 500m, an echo recorded at 50m may be from depths of 50m, 550m or even 1050m. Soundings recorded beyond the set’s nominal range can usually be recognised by the following: (a) the trace being weaker than normal for the depth recorded; (b) the trace passing through the transmission line; (c) the feathery nature of the trace.

9.2

As a check that apparently shoal soundings are not due to echoes received beyond the set’s nominal range, soundings should be continued until reasonable agreement with charted soundings is reached. However, soundings received after one or more rotations of the stylus can still be useful and should be submitted if they show significant differences from the chatted depths. Efforts should be made to identify and negate false echoes if any. The Mariners Handbook (NP100) and Notice 15 Special Edition of Notice to Mariners may be consulted. 8. Reports which cannot be confirmed or are lacking in certain details should not be withheld. Shortcomings should be stressed and any firm expectation of being able to check the information on a succeeding voyage should be notified. 9. Reports of shoal soundings, uncharted dangers and aids to navigation out of order should, at the mariner’s discretion, also be made by radio to the nearest coast radio station. The draught of modern tankers in such that any uncharted depth under 30 meters or 15 fathoms may be of sufficient importance to justify a radio message. 10. Changes to Port information should be forwarded on Form IH.102A together with form IH.102. Form 102A contains the information required for Sailing Directions and should be used as an aide memoir. The Mariners Handbook, NP100, Chapter 8 gives general instructions. Where there is insufficient space on the forms an additional sheet should be used. Please Note: - An acknowledgement will be sent by National Hydrographic Office for Hydrographic Notes, on receipt. When a Notice to Mariners is issued, the sender’s ship or name is quoted as authority unless the information is also received from other authorities/ foreign Notices to Mariners. Further, communication from National Hydrographic Office to the sender of Hydrographic Notes will only be necessary to verify unusual features or abnormal values reported.
